Joint Public Works reviews PFAS treatment and interconnection options

Collegeville-Trappe Joint Public Works Department · January 28, 2025

Summary

Engineers presented a draft PFAS Treatment or Interconnection Study; the board asked for a detailed cost breakdown for an NPWA interconnection and for installing treatment at Well 6A, the Well Field and Well 15 with an emergency interconnect to Aqua PA.

The Collegeville–Trappe Joint Public Works Department heard a presentation Jan. 28 on a draft PFAS Treatment or Interconnection Study from Entech Engineering. Engineer Matt Boggs introduced colleagues Karen Pollock and Austin Schneck and presented options to address PFAS in the system.

The committee directed the engineer to provide a detailed cost breakdown for a potential interconnection with the North Penn Water Authority (NPWA) and to cost out a plan to install treatment at three locations — Well 6A, the Well Field and Well 15 — plus an emergency interconnect to Aqua PA. The action will inform whether the boroughs pursue centralized treatment, multiple localized treatment sites, or increased interconnect capacity. No schedule or cost figures were provided in the minutes; the study draft was presented and reviewed by the committee.
